It's Official

Today marked the release of the report by the financial crisis panel, with the blame spread across the board. Unfortunately, the findings are debated along party lines, with two Republican members of the board stating that the crisis is merely the result of global conditions. It's very sad that our country has completely abandoned accountability. No one has served time for their roles in the crisis. No move has been made to reverse course. Timothy Geithner and Ben Bernanke still oversee our economy, and the same banks remain in power. And now, we can't even uphold the findings of this panel. So it's a news story that is getting about 60 seconds of coverage and tonight's national news and corner pages in our newspapers before falling off the map. This is shameful.
